Who among us still thinks the year 2000 is just an arbitrary turn of a calendar page? Why does its approach bring both fear of apocalyptic destruction and the promise of millennial salvation? Lee Quinby investigates how anxiety about the arrival of the new century casts everything from El Nino to sheep cloning in apocalyptic terms, simultaneously fueling panic and fostering unfounded hope for a perfect world. Millennial rhetoric is both pervasive and persuasive, Quinby argues, because it operates with mutually reinforcing doses of fear and hope. Religious and secular anxiety erupts over charged issues such as sex education, the regulation of cyberspace, and the Christian masculinity of the Promise Keepers. Quinby exposes the dangers of millennialist solutions, which link misogyny, homophobia, and racism with absolutist claims about truth, morality, sexuality, and technology. It is the absolutism of apocalyptic thought-not an impending apocalypse-that poses the more serious threat to our society, Quinby maintains. Millennial Seduction advocates a form of skepticism that challenges absolutism and encourages democratic participation.

Aliens have invaded the United States. No longer confined to science fiction and tabloids, aliens appear in the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, at sweet counters (in chocolate-covered flying saucers and Martian melon-flavoured lollipops) and on Internet web sites. Aliens are at the centre of a faculty battle at Harvard. They have been used to market AT&T, cellular phones, Milky Way chocolate bars, Kodak film, Diet Coke, skateboard accessories and abduction insurance. A Gallup poll reports that 27 percent of Americans believe space aliens have visited Earth. A Time/CNN poll finds 80 percent of its respondents believe the US government is covering up knowledge of the existence of aliens.

Sitting in the ruins of the Third Reich, most Germans wanted to know which of the two post-war German states would erase the material traces of their wartime suffering most quickly, most thoroughly. Consumption and the quality of everyday life quickly became important battlefields upon which the East-West conflict would be fought out. This book focuses on the competing types of consumer societies that developed over time in the two Germanys and the legacy each left.

The Kabbalah is Judaism's intriguing mystical tradition, thousands of years old. In recent years, a growing number of people--both Jews and non-Jews--are finding the Kabbalah to be a fascinating treasure house of wisdom about the human mind. Men and women are discovering and applying Jewish mystical insights in daily life, and professionals in such fields as psychology, psychotherapy, and medicine are actively using Kabbalah in their work.
"Opening the Inner Gates "is an anthology concerning these new explorations. In sixteen chapters, thirteen contributors present both theoretical considerations and applied methods of Kabbalah in such areas as healing, the mind-body relationship, dreamwork, intuition and creativity, storytelling, women's spirituality, parenting, working with the elderly, and "repairing the world" ("tikkun olam)."

WHO IS ASHTAR? Man or Myth? Name or Title? Space Commander or Archangel? Intergalactic Spiritual Leader? The name Ashtar has become widely known in UFO Channeling circles for several decades. It is said that his messages are being beamed from a colossal Starship -- or Space Station -- beyond our atmosphere. According to his primary channel, Tuella (author of Project World Evacuation and On Earth Assignment), Ashtar is directly under the sponsorship of Lord Michael and the Great Central Sun Government of our galaxy, and is second only to the Beloved Jesus-Sananda in responsibility for the airborne division of the Brotherhood of Light. A great deal of Ashtar's popularity is due to his philosophical approach to our global problems and his efforts to raise our planetary vibrations. His work is aligned to that of the Federation of Free Worlds that comprises the totality of the Space Commands throughout the entire Omniverse. This volume contains the most recent information channeled by the Ashtar Command and consists of vital data on coming world events; the ongoing war against evil; and personal messages for world leaders and world conspirators; as well as those serving the Light regardless of their status on Earth at the present moment.

In 1968 University of California Press published an unusual manuscript by an anthropology student named Carlos Castaneda. The Teachings of Don Juan enthralled a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview.

Whether read as ethnographic fact or creative fiction, it is the story of a remarkable journey that has left an indelible impression on the life of more than a million readers around the world.

AMERICAN INDIANS AND LEGENDS OF THE GODS FROM OUTER SPACE - DO NATIVE AMERICANS KNOW MORE ABOUT UFOS THEN THE CIA Many researchers now believe the ancient legends of our native Americans tell of visitations to our planets hundreds of years ago by space travelers ... and that there is evidence that today's tribes are still in contact with beings from far away realms and other dimensions. With chapters by some of the most astute metaphysical writers -- including Brad Steiger and Chris Warner -- this volume delves into the theory projected by some that the Natives of our land will lead us to a safe "New World" based upon their other-worldly contacts. Explored are striking revelations concerning the famous Hopi prophecies, the Kachina spirits and their return, and why UFOs are so frequently seen above sacred grounds. Chapters in this large format study guide include: * American Indians How Do They Fit Into the UFO Puzzle? * American Indians and the Star People. * Secrets of the Totem. * Playground of the Gods. * Star Gods, Hopi Revelations and the Missing Sacred Stone. * Do Hopi Prophecies Hold Key To Mysterious Artifact? * How the Indians Contact UFO Intelligence Through Dreams. * Strangers From Another World Are Here * Sightings of Bigfoot Revive Hopi Legends of Tribal God. * UFO Stories of the Northwestern Indians. * Vision At Courthouse Rock, Sedona, Arizona. According to the contributors to this work, Native Americans have had an ongoing relationship with Space Intelligence and have been receiving regular messages and visits because they practice a very advanced form of mysticism, blending their reality with the magical and spiritual. Join their journey and find out what UFOs mean to them, as well as to the rest of the world. The Native American culture has often been misunderstood. Now is the opportunity to understand the significance behind their UFO and ET encounters. Go in peace

The pantheon of error making is large and always growing. History is replete with notables who have made serious mistakes, who have every right to hide their red faces from the limelight: people like Columbus, Gutenburg, Washington, Einstein. All of them -- and many others -- have had to overcome the errors of their ways to make their marks in the world.

This book presents the many ways in which error has become ingrained in our government, science, medicine, and the arts, how error has changed history, crept into our libraries, altered our thoughts, and affected out daily existence.
